Acta Medica International. 2016 Jul-Dec; 3(2): 152-157.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/177632In the last decades, the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has dramatically improved with the introduction into the clinical practice of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). However, a large part of patients do not respond to first-line drugs and different augmentation strategies have been proposed. More recently, some non-pharmacological techniques have been proposed, but the evidence of effectiveness is just preliminary. In this paper, the most recent works on pharmacological and alternative treatments of OCD will be reviewed.enObsessive-compulsive disorderClomipramineSelective serotonin reuptake inhibitorsCognitive-behavioral therapyExposure and response preventionRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulationDeep brain stimulationneurosurgeryElectroconvulsive therapyArticle
